How do I register my Flower with the SAS?

CBRS devices needs authorization from a SAS (Spectrum Access System) before they can begin to transmit within the CBRS band. The SAS's job is to manage devices to prevent interference with higher priority users. 

Any Flower that has at least one of the following must be registered with the SAS as a Category B radio to remain compliant:

• Operating outdoors with an antenna HAAT over 6 meters
• Flower that can't get a GPS lock or automatically determine its location
• EIRP over 30 dBm with the Spectrum Access System

Current Pollen Mobile radios that should be registered with the SAS include: 

• Buttercups
• Dandelions
• Elderflowers
• Moso Flowers 
• Moonflowers

To register your Flower with the SAS, follow the steps below. 

Register a Flower with the SAS

1. After setting your Flower at the final installation site, open a compass app, with "True North" turned on in the settings, on your smartphone and position the charging port of the phone against the primary LTE antenna (channels 0+1 on the eNodeB), making sure the phone is aligned with the direction the antenna is pointing. Take a screenshot of the azimuth reading for the primary LTE antenna.

For Buttercups, repeat this measurement, taking a screenshot of the azimuth reading for the secondary LTE antenna (channels 2+3 on the eNodeB). Remember to note which reading corresponds to which antenna as you will need to provide two measurements in your submission form.
